A survey of the southern Galactic Plane is being made in the radio continuum at 843 MHz with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope. The area to be covered is 240° ≤ l ≤ 365°, |b| ≤ 10° with a resolution of 43″ × 43″cosec|δ| and a 3σ rms noise of ≤ 5 mJy/beam. This survey (MGPS2) will be used to search for possible new supernova remnant candidates, to image other discrete sources such as HII regions and radio galaxies located behind the Galaxy, and to study the structure of the interstellar medium. Comparison with a first epoch survey (MGPS1) will also be made. Some of the first results from MGPS2 are presented.
